Frequently Asked Questions
Coil-splitting opens up a brighter, more Strat-like single-coil tone, adding versatility for cleaner styles.
The 12 in radius and 1.6875 in nut width provides ample room, but the neck profile is relatively slim, which some with very large hands might find a touch snug.
While the finish and hardware are excellent for the price point, the internal bracing and overall construction aren't as elaborate as the premium offerings.
